The local Staples doesn’t sell Rolodex cards any more. My sister is distraught.
Wait. Can’t place “Rolodex"?
From Wikipedia:
"The Rolodex was invented in 1956, by the Danish engineer Hildaur Neilsen, the chief engineer of Zephyr American, a stationery manufacturer in New York.[1][2] First marketed in 1958,[3] it was an improvement to an earlier design called the Wheeldex. Zephyr American also invented, manufactured and sold the Autodex, a spring-operated phone directory that automatically opened to the selected letter, Swivodex, an inkwell that did not spill, Punchodex, a paper hole puncher, and Clipodex, an office aid that attached to a stenographer's knee.[4]"
Remember now? (I’m guessing none of them are big sellers these days.)
